North Canyon Medical CenterAuxiliary Exceeds $300,000 Goal

Since 1981, dedicated vol-unteers have operated the North Canyon Medical Cen-ter Auxiliary Thrift Store. These volunteers work dili-gently to keep the store in top condition and to ensure that all items for sale are in good repair. Their main goal, how-ever, is to donate All proceeds of the store to North Canyon Medical Center for the pur-chase of patient equipment. Their annual contributions range from $10,000 - $20,000, and this year they reached combined contributions of $323,110. “The Auxiliary members set a goal to exceed $300,000 in donations and were overjoyed to exceed their goal. We are grateful and impressed by the dedication and hard work of the Auxiliary members. They go above and beyond giving back to the community and

the hospital,” stated Shellie Amundson, Community Re-lations Director. “It is quite impressive to see how much the Thrift Store contributes back to the hospital, espe-cially considering the low cost of items in the store. Many quality items are under $5.00 and they regularly have $1.00 sales,” she stated. The NCMC Auxiliary Thrift Store is open Monday

– Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They accept all clean, us-able donations such as cloth-ing, books, knick-knacks, shoes, small appliances and just about anything you would like to donate. Donations are accepted during normal business hours. For more store information, please call 934-8604. Photographed are many of the Auxiliary members.

UPDATE:ManMade Park Just north of Fairfield there is an old gravel pit, part of which is county owned and part of which was state owned. For the last four or five years the county has been negotiat-ing with the state to turn that area into a park and fishing pond. Last year, the county was rewarded for their hard work, and on March 10th of this year, the Camas Coun-ty Board of Commissioners passed Ordinance #167. This ordinance identifies the boundaries of the new County Park property (formerly know as Manmade), and outlines rules of how it will be used. The ordinance also lists a number of things that will not be allowed such as dumping, burning, or shooting of fire-arms on the property. The full development of this new park will take a number years, and careful planning is needed to make it the type of place the residents of Camas County can be proud of. To that end, a recommending committee has been formed and is putting together plans for the future park. The Camas County Board of Commissioners encourage everyone to contact the board with any question or sugges-tions. This is a great project that will benefit Camas County for many years to come.

My early days of bird hunting was with old 12 gage single shot shotgun. If you remember from

earlier “Cups of Tee” the shotgun had the barrel pitted inside, the opening lever was broken, and I bought it from an old boy named Cliff Smith. Being a single shot and not of top condition, you really had to concentrate. I could get one shot and then throw in another round. My luck hunting wasn’t too bad, but I did get more practice loading than I did shooting. My dad had an automatic shotgun - basically you could pull the trigger and it would crank out the shells in rapid secession. Each boy’s dream after using an old single shot shotgun is to progress to a shotgun that could hold more shells. Dad didn’t hunt much, especially since I borrowed his shotgun and was gone all the time with it. I would work and buy boxes of 12 gage shells. The automatic would hold five rounds and about that quick they would be gone. I shot the shotgun with and without its shoulder pad. I believe the shoulder pad was a nicer way to go though shells without the shoulder bruising. Shooting the automatic shotgun lessened my skills as a shotgun shooter. That seems to be odd, but it is true. I was basically feeling the power of the shotgun, shooting volumes of shell, and not concentrat-ing. This type of shooting is called flock shooting whereas you hope something would fly into your shell shot. Needless to say, I began to bring home fewer and fewer birds. Dad would come to me and tell me he wanted to borrow back his shotgun. He would ask me if I had any shells. The answer was “yes” simply because I shot volumes of them. Dad would only take two or three shells from one of my boxes, Then he would go hunt, come back to the house with two or three birds, and one or two shells. Dad didn’t ground sloose birds (shoot them on the ground); he would shoot them out of the air as a real sportsman. Once home Dad would show me what he shot, and give me the shotgun with the remaining shells. Then he would look at me for a few moments not saying a word. The silent lesson out weighed the voice type lesson of “You are wasting shells.” Dad realized since I started using the automatic, I wasn’t hunting like I should. I started to take the shotgun and only put two shells in the magazine. Being so use to the rapid fire I couldn’t shoot just once. Finally, by re-training myself, I was once again able to refocus on shooting. Some les-sons in life are small silent ones in which we learn if we pay attention. But more so than not, we have to learn lessons hands on ourselves. The shooting of the automatic shotgun pouring out volumes of shells in the air is one such lesson. As I look back there were many lessons to be noticed such as responsibility, concentration, patience, prepared-ness, practice, and commitment or following through (personal repri-mand being the hardest). Instead of pots full of Tee, this is my single serving “Cup of Tee”.

Gooding Museum Opens This Friday Gooding County Historical Society announced this week, the season opening of the Gooding County His-torical Museum on Friday, April 4th. Everyone has been working hard for weeks to bring to the forefront our Gooding County Military history. There is a lot to share when you think about the nu-merous men and women that are buried in our Coun-ty cemeteries that were in the military. Every conflict seems to be listed from the Civil War to current. The Museum will have on display several uniforms includ-ing one from World War I. Also, an authentic army jeep will be centered in the Museum. Over the past couple of years we have collected the military obituaries of the local veterans and we have them in binders filed by the war they served in. These binders will be on display and can be used for research. The Gooding County Museum will be open every Friday and Saturday from April through October from 10 to 4. If you are interested in volunteering to help greet guests, please contact the Museum at 934-5318.

Legislative Update from Michelle StennettEnd of Session - 2014 The 2014 legislative session was the shortest in a decade. When you gave me the honor of serving you in the Idaho Senate, I promised to work hard, to lead with integrity, and to always be guided by the needs of Idaho’s children, families and businesses. I am also honored to represent the fine Democratic senators as their Minority Leader and I’m proud of the accomplishments our team made this year despite the issues Idahoans value most - education, eco-nomic opportunity and access to quality healthcare - being buried under elec-tion-year posturing. Education was supposed to be the big issue of 2014. On the final day of the session, the Senate Education Committee Chairman said there will be “sub-stantial” changes to education funding...next year. Education has been under-funded for 15 years, a trend that worsened dramatically during the recession. The 20 recommendations of the governor’s education task force were either left unfulfilled or only partially implemented. The 5.1% ($66 million) increase in public school funding, while nearly double the 2.9% recommended by Gov-ernor Otter, only gets the state back to 2009 spending levels without allowing

for 14,000 additional students or addressing the costs of implementing Idaho Core Standards. But I must acknowledge the good that was accomplished: a 1% increase in pay for teachers and administrators; over $8 million for profes-sional development; and nearly $16 million in leadership award premiums. Correction reform made substantial progress this year. On July 1st, the state will take over control of the Idaho Correctional Center in Boise from Correc-tions Corporation of America (CCA). The private prison contractor has been embroiled in lawsuits over prison violence and fraud. In February the state settled for $1 million to release CCA from all liability over understaffing ICC and falsifying records. The FBI just agreed to take on a criminal investigation of the Tennessee-based company at the urging of Democratic Leaders. The Idaho Criminal Justice Task Force met over the interim to study Idaho’s harsh sentencing policies and broken parole system, especially given Idaho’s low crime rates. From that came S1357, S1393 and H542, justice reinvestment measures that will become the model for other states. Although extending coverage through Medicaid redesign would have been the more fiscally prudent and humane action (saving 120 lives and nearly $100 million while providing 100% coverage for mental health), there were still positive advances in healthcare. Funding for preventative dental cov-

erage for those with disabilities was reinstated through Medicaid. Five new medical residency seats were added to the WWAMI program which trains new doctors through a five-state collaborative. This will help address the fact that Idaho is ranked 49th in the nation for the number of physicians per 100,000 residents with many of our doc-tors nearing retirement. Over $2 million in funding will go toward the creation of at least one new mental health crisis center and the Behavioral Health System of Care (BHSC) was updated to integrate mental health and sub-stance abuse treatment. We strengthened prescription drug monitoring for abuse prevention and athird family practice residency was added that will help improve access to primary care in Coeur d’Alene. And, after 20 years of work, an organized trauma and emergency system was ap-proved which could save 100 lives annually and millions in costs. Public sector wages have begun to rise after years of cuts and furloughs. In addition to the 1% pay increase for educators, the minimum teacher salary has risen from $31,000 to 31,700. State employees will receive a pay increase (1% permanent and 1% in one-time merit bonuses for FY15) and the committee tasked with evaluating compensation for public sector workers will meet again next year to continue evaluating wages. The House amended S1395 to reduce the pay raise granted to constitutional officers from 2.5% to 1%, a reduction that was quickly approved by the Senate. When the good people of District 26 elected me, I un-derstood my first responsibility was to listen to constitu-ents and work to enact laws based on their input. Both the legislation that passed and the measures denied consideration this year raise questions about the real role of the public in crafting public policy; it seemed the main theme of this session was ignoring or suppressing the voice of the people.

NEWS from Soldier MoutainSummerfest Meeting: April 5th 10 a.m. in the Lodge. Our music coordinator has been rounding up bands, for the Summerfest . He has some great possibilities and wants to share them with the planning team. Date moved to June 21st; Knob-by Tire Race to follow on the 22nd. This meeting will be very informative and many volunteers are needed to pull off a fundraiser of this size. Last year there were over 100 dedicated volunteers. Our goal is to establish department heads and establish a budget for advertising. Food & Beverage, Volunteer Coordinator, Ticket / T-shirt Sales are some of the department heads we are looking for. If anyone is interested in participating with this fundraiser, please come and join the planning process.

These bills faced widespread opposition: Guns on Campus (S1254) - Effec-tive July 1st, Idaho’s colleges and universities will be forced to allow concealed firearms on their campuses against the wishes of all significant stakeholders, many of whom were shut out of the public hearing in the Senate. Ag-Gag (S1337) - As of February 28th, anyone who films animal abuse at an agricul-ture production facility will face a fine of up to $5,000 or a year in jail (double the sentence for actual animal abusers). I know many producers in our district who run exemplary businesses, a reality tainted by a law, already being chal-lenged in court, that sends a message to the world that Idaho’s ag industry has something shameful to hide. Luker Laws (H426, 427) - These bills would have made prejudice legal in Idaho. After 500 citizens showed up to testify against 427, the House committee voted to advance the bill until even the sponsor acknowledged his laws would be a “sword for discrimination” and pulled them from consideration. Wolves (H470a) - This bill had to be amended because it violated Article IV, Section 20 of the Idaho Constitution which limits the number of boards allowed within the Executive Branch. Idaho already has a board tasked with controlling predatory animals. Although the original re-quest of $2 million in one-time money became $400,000 on-going, we’ll have spent the $2 million within six years. That equates to $4,000 per wolf, close to the $6,000 spent per year to educate a child. My request to include non-lethal control measures, which have been very successful in the Wood River Valley, was deemed a “non-starter” by the bill’s sponsor. These measures were denied consideration: Medicaid - The House refused to even print a bill introduced by their Minority Leader, Dr. John Rusche, intended to redesign Medicaid to extend health care coverage to over 100,000 citizens and save the state millions. Add the Words - For the 8th year, the ma-jority party refused to allow even a public hearing over adding the words “sex-ual orientation and gender identity” to the Idaho Human Rights Act. Justice delayed is justice denied. Pre-K pilot (H586) - A bipartisan bill to authorize a 3-year Pre-K pilot program to test the benefits of early education in Idaho, one of only nine states that provide no Pre-K funding, was not allowed a hearing. Minimum Wage (S1334) - A measure I introduced to incrementally raise the minimum wage to $9.75 by mid 2015 was denied a hearing despite Idaho’s ranking #1 in the nation for jobs paying the minimum wage (currently $7.25). State Amphibian (S1271) - Even 7th grader Ilah Hickman’s voice was silenced by House State Affairs Chairman Tom Loertscher who refused to grant a hear-ing for her bill designating an official state amphibian after years of dedicated effort on her part.

Strategy Meeting: April 5th at 1 p.m. in the Lodge. We will start the meeting with introductions and sharing of ideas. Many topics will be discussed for fundraising, marketing, and mountain development, i.e.: terrain park, race program, Soldier supporters want to share their dreams. Each person will be slotted 5 to10 minutes of time to present their thoughts for Soldier, and how they plan to implement and fund them. At 2:00 we will break, to form into sub-committees. Each committee will then plan to meet in the next month to collabo-rate an outline for an implementation plan. Please come to share your imaginings for Soldier, or come to listen, maybe you will be inspired to join our dedicated group of front line, Soldier Supporters. If you have any questions you can call Kristi Schiermeier at 208-599-5051

Swizzled….Kadizzled…Bamboozled & BeguzzledDr. Seuss’ Stories Come Alive in Fairfield

Green Eggs and Ham This is the first year that the Camas High School Reading Club and the Camas Junior High School Reading Club have performed Dr. Seuss plays for the Camas Elementary School students and parents. Jack Simon was dressed as the Cat in the Hat and was the narrator for the event. He opened the event juggling and giving a short Dr. Seuss Jingle. The first play was “Green Eggs and Ham” with Jeff Rast and Whitnee Hur-less playing the main parts. Mr. Rast played the part of the Knox. He did a wonderful job and was a great sport. The high school students were dressed to fit the parts, with Dr. Seuss props that enhanced the performances.The ABC Book The second play was “The ABC Book” with junior high club members all dressed as different letters of the alphabet. Peels of laughter and gasps of astonish-ment emitted from the crowd as Ariel Higgins dressed as “Thing Two” danced back and forth across the floor. The students played their roles to perfection with the elementary students completely enthralled. It was ap-parent that the plays were a great success for both student ac-tors as well those who watched.
